My mother had the best rule and my husband an I plan on using it with our daughter. When you turn 13 or get your first period, whichever comes first. Our daughter is almost 8 and she knows this rule. When my sister got hers done my daughter asked her, "Auntie did you get your period?" My sister laughed and told her, "nope I just had my 13th birthday. " I'm 15 years older than my sister and she became an aunt at 8 so sometimes it's like my kids have an older sister.

Yeah sure, shove metal into your baby so she looks more pleasing to you. It'll look extra cute when she shoves her hand in her diaper then plays with them. Turns her ears a really pretty color. Is your daughter not good enough as she is so that you have to altar her body to be pleasing?

She may not remember the pain but her body will. Think about this, boys who are circumcised have a lower pain threshold later in life compared with uncircumcised boys due to the early stimulation of the pain pathways. I can get the study for you if you would like. Bet the same thing happens to little girls who get their ears pierced early in life. What ever you do though it is your choice.

Im generally against piercing a small child ears until they are old enough to go to a professional piercing studio and have them pierced with needle. Piercing guns are unsafe because they don't completely dissemble and not all components can be sterilized. They are also more painful than a piercing needle.

When she can ask she can have them pierced. I don't think there is any way to tell what a 1 year old will "defo" (???!!!) want when she's older. I plan to make it a whole mom and daughter day that will become a good memory.

I agree. I may have piercings and tattoos but who knows what my two year old will want when she's older? I have adult friends without pierced ears. The thought of having a big mommy/daughter day where we go to a reputation le shop (because piercing guns are effing disgusting) and pick out ear rings and so on is something special.

I hate to see a child's ears pierced. I cannot fathom why you would want to do it, and I think (IMO) it's really cheap and ghetto. But... I do understand it is the norm in some cultures and really when it boils down to it- your child, your choice. But if she is against it when she is older- what will you say? Mommy wanted to have it done so you have zero choice! She wasn't cute enough the way she was?

I don't care if another child has pierced ears. I know a couple who got their daughters done at two months. However it's not something I would do. Df asks me when we will pierce her ears. I told him when she's old enough to ask and understand how to take care of her ears. The last thing I need is a toddler playing with her fresh pierced ears and getting them infected.

Well with that reasoning I guess I should have got DD a tattoo as an infant. I mean her father and I have tattoos so she is going to want some too...In all reality I am not against getting a young child ears pierced. I got DD ears done when she she was 3 months old (I also got my son circumcised the day after he was born) But let's be honest, I did those things for no other reason then I wanted to. I am their mother, it's what I wanted and I don't have to justify my reason to anyone. With that being said if I was to have another girl I would not do it again. But if I was to have another boy he would be circumcised.

Totally against it, now after having two girls and when they were 6 they got to have them done. First daughter was a wee bit scared , had two people do them at once.Second daughter thought long and hard , took a bit to get them done, one ear got infected and we took it out and waited for it to clear up before getting it done again , only now she knew it hurt and 30min later we finally did it. Two months later this bump appeared and again took out earring and it has since closed up and waiting for her to tell us when she is ready to do it again. So yeah get them done earlier! Haha

I have to admit I think it's cute but I would never do it. You really don't know if she will want them pierced. Saying she probably will is like saying she will probably like babies, want to wear makeup, carry a purse, etc. while its a stereotype it's not always true. I would hold out until she can ask. I got my ears pierces at 9 and I still don't remember the pain. It was not traumatizing lol. But I ended up taking my earrings out anyway. So I almost wish I hadn't done it then and wouldn't have these holes in my ears and have people give me earrings as presents when my ears aren't even pierced.
